I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 180

Chapter 180 One knife makes you rich and the other makes you poor

Han Yao followed the direction of Ling Chu's finger and looked at the rough stones next to her.

What a coincidence, the pieces pointed by the disaster star were exactly what she wanted to buy.

"Dr. Liu, I want these rough stones. Please calculate the price." Han Yao asked Liu Gui calmly, but with a bit of arrogance in her expression.

Lingchu raised an eyebrow, but she just stabbed it casually. Did the county owner really buy it?

Liu Gui was stunned. Although he wanted to complete this business, he was afraid that the county owner would regret it after buying it, in case something happened to him later. After hesitating for a while, he said cryptically, "County Master, those pieces are the best in quality in our Jade Pavilion, and they are so big that it is inconvenient to transport them back. How about you look at the others?"

Ling Chu glanced at the arrogant county master and said softly, "Dong Liu's family is right. No matter how rich the Dingyuan Palace is, the money will not be brought by the strong wind. The county master should not squander it carelessly, in case something happens. If there is no jade inside, the money will be wasted."

“No need, even if the Liu Dong family offers a price, it's only two to three thousand taels, so I haven't taken it seriously yet.” Han Yao looked arrogant and disdainful.

If those wealthy businessmen had such an attitude, Liu Gui would definitely quote the price without saying a word.

But this county lord is from the Dingyuan Prince's Palace, so it is better not to offend him as much as possible.

 After all, these rich and noble ladies have always been erratic in doing things, changing at will, and he has seen many unreasonable and unreasonable things.

Liu Gui was happy when he saw that she insisted on buying it, but in order not to offend Prince Dingyuan as much as possible, he still said something cryptic, "County Lord, those pieces of material are all produced in the most famous old pit. County Lord I must have seen that those pieces of material performed well in all aspects, and for the price..."

Han Yao's maid asked him impatiently, "Okay, Mr. Liu, just tell me how much it will be. It's so annoying to grind and chirp, but my county boss is not one of those low-income people who pretends to be fat."

 Liu Gui was unhappy because both the master and the servant looked down upon others.

Since people didn't want to accept his kindness, there was no need for him to be kind and said directly, "The largest piece is 4,300 taels, the brown piece is 3,900 taels, and the square piece is 3,760 taels." Five taels, and the other two pieces, the big one is 2,320 taels, and the small one is 2,110 taels.”

The shopkeeper next to him stopped using the abacus and directly quoted the total price, "Sixteen thousand three hundred and eighty-five taels."

Liu Gui nodded and looked at Han Yao with a smile on his face, "The county master bought too much, so I'll pay you a small change. I just need to give you sixteen thousand three hundred taels."

As soon as Liu Gui finished speaking, the maid was dumbfounded, "It's so expensive, are you robbing money?"

This price was obviously beyond the maid's expectation. Han Yao next to her also looked stiff. She thought that the few pieces of material were only about 3,000 taels at most.

Liu Dongjia's face darkened when he heard what the maid said, "The county master should know whether I am robbing money. As I said just now, those pieces of material came from the most famous old pit, and the performance is my jadeite The best batch in the hotel.”

Glancing at the increasingly gloomy face of the county master, Liu Dongjia changed his tone abruptly, "Why don't you, the county master, take a look at the materials on the side?"

Although his uncle was the **** in charge of Jinxiu Yuzhen, he actually did not have much weight in front of the dignitaries of Dingyuan Palace, and he did not want to offend the county owner.

 At worst, he won't do this business today.

Ling Chu glanced at the sullen master and servant, and smiled softly, "Dong Liu's family has made the situation clear enough. Since the county master doesn't have enough money, he can choose other materials. The county master still lets Your maid should pay attention to her words and deeds. It is not easy for Dong Liu's family to open a shop and make a living. How can we do business if she ruins her reputation by yelling casually? "

Seeing the smile on the disaster star's face, Han Yao's face became more and more gloomy. More than ten thousand taels was beyond her budget, but she had already boasted so much that she couldn't let that **** laugh at her.

 “Cuiliu, give me the banknote.”

The maid secretly complained in her heart, how could she have so many banknotes.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the maid secretly gritted her teeth and looked embarrassed, "County Master, I went out today and only brought 3,600 taels with me."

Han Yao glared at her fiercely, feeling that everyone looked at her with ridicule.

He gritted his teeth and took off the bracelet on his hand, "Mr. Liu, this bracelet was given by the imperial concubine. Is it enough to cover the remaining money?"

"That's enough, that's enough." The bracelet given by the imperial concubine was a hot potato. The Liu family didn't want it. It was obvious that Han Yao insisted on buying those few pieces of material, so he had to accept it. Han Yao was not completely stimulated by Ling Chu. She was originally optimistic about those pieces of material and wanted to buy them, but she didn't expect the price to be so expensive.

But it doesn't matter, she is not the disaster star, and she doesn't understand anything.

She had learned from a master who specializes in stone gambling. Those pieces of material were produced in Laokeng, and she had carefully looked at them. Whether they were mango belts, pine flowers, etc., they were all very good. She judged that there were not only jade but also jade in them. Still of the highest quality.

As long as she cuts the rough stones and digs out the jade inside, it won't be a problem to sell them for a hundred thousand taels.

That bracelet was a gift from the imperial concubine. Of course she would not just mortgage it to Liu Gui and then ask him to get it back after selling the jadeite.

Seeing that the county owner had bought all the jadeite stones, Ling Chu felt secretly happy, hoping that he wouldn't cry too hard after cutting them open.

"Look, it's green..." Ling Chu was thinking about leaving with the two maids when he suddenly heard an excited shout.

 It turned out that someone was unraveling the stone.

 Hearing the news, those who were selecting rough stones all rushed over.

Ling Chu was curious for a moment and walked over.

“Boss Cao, I'll pay you 10,000 taels, can you transfer this piece of material to me?” A businessman wearing dark satin looked at the man named Cao with a smile.

 “I will pay fifteen thousand.”

 “Twenty thousand.”

 “Twenty-five thousand.”

 Listening to everyone's quotations, Mr. Zhao from Yongfuxiang waved his hand arrogantly, “Fifty thousand.”

Zhao Xinxiang looked at the cut jadeite, his eyes shining. The water was so transparent and the color was emerald green. It was a rare and good material.

Everyone sighed inwardly, Yong Fuxiang's boss was indeed very wealthy.

Just when everyone thought that the man named Cao would sell the piece of jade to Zhao Dongjia, he shook his head and said, "Zhao Dongjia, I want to cut all of this piece of material."

Zhao Xinxiang was stunned. Although he was disappointed, there was nothing he could do. After all, the jade was not his.

 Cao Shun was excited. He was so lucky to cut out such high-quality jadeite with the first cut.

“Next, cut this side.” Cao Shun gestured on the rough stone to signal to the man in charge of cutting.

The guy nodded and raised his knife.

As the cut surface was exposed, the smile on Cao Shun's face disappeared visibly.

 Some people even exclaimed, "The green is gone..."

The people present shook their heads and sighed. It was true that gambling on stones made one rich and one poor, and the fifty thousand taels were gone in the blink of an eye.

It's the end of the month, all handsome guys and beauties, please give me a ticket.
